During The Branches of Darkmeyer, players must terrorise her to gain status inside the Sanguinesti city of Darkmeyer, where she is held prisoner by the vampyres. Once they have access to the upper tier, they can break the lock on her cell and free her. However, if they terrorised her too much, she will refuse to leave the cell when released, saying, "No, just leave me. I'm sure it will all be over soon." When freeing her, it is possible to lie about her husband's fate or admit that he has been killed by the player's hand. Either way, Maria will disappear if released.
